County War: drunk D.A. v. Legal Sex Clubs

People living in Southern Nevada for a number of years may tell you that there's an ongoing war between Nye County and Clark County for which county can host the most absurd events. Well, it must be sweeps month because the stars are coming out to shine:

The [allegedly] drunk driving D.A. of Nye County, Bob Beckett, has pled not guilty to a drunken driving charge stemming from two crashes he was involved in during a six-hour span on the same California highway. He previously issued a public statement in which he took "full responsibility". You gotta love Nye County. (Review-Journal)

Not to be outdone, Clark County's District Court will host the debate over whether rejecting a sex club a business license violates the U.S. Constitution. (Las Vegas Sun) The lawsuit is being brought by 39-year-old swinger David Cooper who's license application to run a swingers club called Sextasy in Commercial Center was rejected while other sex clubs are allowed to operate in the same shopping center.

As a result, Cooper will be arging that failure to approve his sex club is a 14th Amendment violation.
